Is guitars tuned good, And firm, feeling women.I don’t need my name In the marquee lights.I got my song. I got you with me, tonight.
Maybe it’s time we got back To the basics of love.
Luckenback, Texas 1977Recorded by Waylon Jennings
& Willie Nelson.
Luckenback is a tiny town “Deepin the Heart of Texas.” It is 50miles north of San Antonio and
50 miles west of Austin, by the banksof the PedernalesRiver, and had apeak population of492 in 1904 perWikipedia, the free on-line encyclope-dia. Responding to an ad in the paperthat read “Town - population 3 - forsale,” a rancher named Hondo Crouchpurchased Luckenback for the sum of$30,000 in 1970. Hondo turned thetown’s dance hall into a country musicMecca for musicians and fans alike.(How do you have a dance with threepeople? Excuse me, Are you with him?May I cut in?)
I’ve never been to Luckenback andmust have blinked when I drove paston my post-Bar Exam cross country tripback in ‘91. It was my turn to driveduring that particular stretch of the tripthat traversed the landscape of centraland west Texas. Rolling hills, no trees,pick-up trucks and oil derricks for 600
‘The Only Two Things In Life That Make ItWorth Living,’
miles from Dallas, past Buddy Holly’shometown of Lubbock, all to get to“Amarillo byM o r n i n g . ”So, I don’tknow exactlywhat Willieand Waylonare talkingabout, but Iguess thesong is just ametaphor forkicking back and a suggestion to “Takeit Easy.” Sort of a polar opposite to theEagles song, “Life in the Fast Lane,”with the refrain of “everything, all the
time.” The lyrics re-mind us that maybeit’s better to concen-trate on building re-
lationships and slowing down the paceof life, than keeping up with the Jones.
The idea of living in a one trafficlight town does have an appeal. Lifewithout traffic jams or rush hours andlines at the supermarket would be nice.But then I think of weekend events suchas cow-tipping and visits to Main Street

Family law - alimony - post-separation cohabi-tation: 1) Trial judge erred by refusing to con-sider post-separation”marriage-type relationship”by wife with third person as part of her “financialstatus” and “standard of living” factors. 2) Therewas insufficient evidence to permit a survivor ben-efits award when no evidence showed the valueor cost of this. Whittington v. Whittington, — Md.App. — (1/4/07).Family law - grandparents revisited: TheCourt of Appeals upholds grandparent visitationstatute (FL 9-102), but implies additional require-ment, as in 3rd party custody cases, that a)parentsmust be “unfit” or b)”extraordinary circum-stances” must be found before trial court can over-ride parents’ presumptively appropriate decisionsas to grandparent access. Koshko v. Haining, —Md. — (1/12/07).Family law - Soldiers’ & Sailors’ Relief up-date: The current federal statute as to active mili-tary members (50 App.U.S.C.A. §§ 522(b)(2)(A,B)) provides that a civil court automatically must
grant at least a 90 day stay if member files appro-priate motion with letter from commanding officerstating that military obligations prevent leave toattend court. Motion for further discretionary staymay be made on similar grounds. Hernandez v.Hernandez, 169 Md. App. 679 (2006).Contracts - obligation to apply for financing:Where contract did not otherwise specify, a partycomplied with condition to seek financing by mak-ing a single application. Meyers v. Kahoe, 391 Md.188 (2006).Civil procedure - limitations: 1) Administrativeorder must be appealed within 30 days from filing,not receipt. Centre Ins. v. JTW, — Md. — (1/9/07). 2)Limitations for employee discharge claimbegan with date of discharge, not letter confirm-ing it. Haas v. Lockheed Martin, — Md. — (1/9/07).Criminal evidence - defendant’s testimony inunrelated case: If defendant in upcoming crimi-nal case testifies for co-defendant, State’s use ofcross-examination depends on: 1) limitation ofcross to scope of direct and “matters affectingcredibility,” rather than becoming discovery depo-sition; and 2) entire testimony must be prefacedby Miranda-type warning.

CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUES

Editor’s Note: This is the second in a seriesof articles about Anne Arundel County courthouseemployees. The information provided herein is notintended to be legal advice.
It happens to everyone at one time or another:the court sets a hearing date that conflicts withanother one of your cases or your vacation
plans. Perhaps your client is scheduled to havesurgery on the date of the hearing. As the AnneArundel County Circuit Court Postponement Co-ordinator, Nancy Baker deals with these issues,along with requests to appear via phone, on a dailybasis.
Baker is part of Administrative Judge Manck’ssupport staff and can be found on the fourth floorof the Circuit Court in Judge Manck’s chambers.She processes civil, family, and criminal case post-ponement requests by making sure the motions
have all the necessary information before beingsent to Judge Manck for a ruling. She took overthe job approximately a year ago from the formercoordinator Stephanie Montgomery, who is nowJudge Mulford’s administrative assistant.
Baker, however, is no stranger to the court-house. She worked in the Court Clerk’s depart-ment for 19 years. For 14 of those years, she servedas the Assistant Supervisor of the courtroomclerks. Baker described the transition from court-room clerk to postponement coordinator as beingfairly easy. Although she misses being in the court-room during the more interesting criminal trials,she likes dealing with all of the judges as the post-ponement coordinator.
The most common reasons for the postpone-ment request tend to be trial conflicts or vacationconflicts. Beware though: if you are seeking tomove a hearing date that you and the opposingcounsel previously agreed upon, you must have acompelling reason to request the postponement.Once the motion hasbeen ruled upon, Bakertypically makes a cour-tesy call to the attor-neys to let them knowof the outcome.
For those with out-of-town clients, youcan file a request toappear via phone forthe more administrativehearings, such asscheduling confer-ences. The requestmust be in motionform. If granted, Bakerprovides informationabout Court Call. Theparty also can providea number at which theycan be reached at theappropriate time.
When she is not atwork, Baker enjoys timewith her three teenagechildren, husband, anddog at their home on theEastern Shore.
Nancy Baker, Circuit Court Postponement Coordinator
1) Clear a new date with the Assign-ment Office and opposing counsel.This “tentative reset date” should benoted in the motion.
2) Make your request in motion form.
3) Include whether or not the oppos-ing counsel/party objects to the post-ponement request and whether thetentative reset date has been clearedwith them.
4) Provide a proposed order with thetentative reset date.
5) Contact Ms. Baker to let her knowof the filing or if you are walking itthrough chambers, especially if filingat the last minute or the day of thehearing.

With the passing of Bennett Crain, Jr., on Sept. 3, 2006, the barassociation has lost the epitome of the respected country law-yer.
Born Oct. 1, 1930, Bennett grew up on his family’s farm in CharlesCounty. He learned of law and politics from his lawyer father and ofhard work from the chores of the farm during wartime. At EpiscopalHigh School and the University of Virginia his southern attributes weremolded into a classic, fun loving, southern gentleman of impeccable char-acter and integrity. He was at the same time a fighter for his principlesand caring for and gentle with his family, friends and associates.
His grandfather, Robert Crain, was a prominent Maryland legislator,who succeeded in having Route 301 connect the rest of the world toSouthern Maryland. It and other Crain Highways were named in hishonor, including the one in Glen Burnie.
After graduating from University of Maryland Law School, Bennettjoined the Army Judge Advocate Corps for three years as a trial lawyer.After his release from the army he set up practice in Annapolis withBarham Gary on State Circle. Upon Gary’s death in 1965, Bennett joinedforces with the law firm of Fell and Hartman on Duke of GloucesterStreet under the name of Hartman and Crain. His practice flourisheduntil his retirement in 1993.
During his tenure in Annapolis, Bennett served as reporter for theCharter Board and worked tirelessly for adoption of the charter form ofcounty government. Upon adoption of the charter in 1964, Bennett be-came County Solicitor under Joe Alton, but continued his ties withHartman and Crain.
Bennett was president of the Southern Maryland Society, a memberof the Annapolis Yacht Club, the Sailing Club of the Chesapeake and theChesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association. He was a part owner of,and active in, management of the Annapolis boat shows. Despite all ofhis activities and associations, he was able to cruise to the end exten-sively on his 41 foot sailboat, Landsend, on the Chesapeake and through-out the Bahamas and Caribbean Sea.
Bennett is sorely missed by his family and all who knew him.

to see if the front window manikin display at theGeneral Store has changed. For me the NormanRockwell charm wanes, and I’m thinking that I’dbe yearning for the bright lights, singing, “theselittle town blues....”
It is nice to have the option of the Big Citynearby. A night at the Kennedy Center orMeyerhoff just might be more culturally stimulat-ing than hanging out, “sucking down a chilli-dogoutside the Tastee-Freeze.” Twenty-five minutesfrom Annapolis can get you to see the Ravens,Redskins, Orioles, Terps and to the Metro to seethe Nationals and Wizards if sports is your game.We have easy access to the Smithsonian, LittleItaly and the National Aquarium. My point, if therehas to be one, is that Anne Arundel County is anice place to live and work. So while we have tohustle to meet our overhead, billing quotas andmortgages, at least we get to do all that in an areathat has a lot to offer in terms of quality of life.
My Mom is one of those “firm, feelingwomen” that Waylon Jennings sings about. Sheprovides a great example of how to live a spirituallife and focus on “the basics of love.” I rememberValentine’s Day in second grade, before I realizedwhat a nightmare that day is to my gender. Thinkabout it. If a guy does everything right, flowers,romantic dinner, jewelry, etc., that is what is ex-pected. If you mess up anything, you are in thedoghouse. Who made this deal?
Moving on, back in the second grade, I wantedto give a Valentine’s card to four or five friends.
She would make me write one out for everyone inthe class, using my best penmanship. My favoritecard was “Peas be my Podner,” featuring the lassowielding Cowboy and the pea pod on the front.Anyway, I got the message and some writer’scramp. She has turned her instructive attention tothe next generation.
A devout Catholic, Mom presented my thenfive and four-year-old girls with mass cards com-memorating the passing of Pope John Paul II andthe installment of the new pope, Benedict XVI, inMay 2005. For the uninitiated, a mass card is likea baseball card, with a picture on the front andstats on the back. My girls dutifully thanked theirGrandma for the cards and went about their way.A week or two later as I’m reading the paper atthe kitchen table, I overheard Riley say to her sis-ter, “Hey Lily do you want to play hide the Popes

again?” Apparently, one sister hides the papal masscards around the house in sofas and behind pic-tures, and the other sisters have to find them. It isnot uncommon in my house, to reach for the re-mote in the Lazyboy cushion and come out with aPope or two. Thanks Mom, you’ve got a heart thesize of Texas.
According to Wikipedia, a popular saying inLuckenback Texas, is “Everybody is somebody inLuckenback.” Easy to understand with a popula-tion less than one of our jury pools, but likely, theyhave to wait for the arrival of weekend tourists tohave a jury trial there. You can go to Luckenbackwith Waylon and Willie and the boys if you’d like. Iunderstand that Willie Nelson throws a big Fourthof July party there that sounds like fun. As for me,I’ll import some Luckenback attitude but I’ll stayin busy, beautiful Anne Arundel County nestled onthe Bay, where I can “Kiss an Angel Good Morn-
ing,” before “Working for the Man.”So baby let’s sell your diamond ring,Buy some boots and faded jeans, and go away.This coat and tie is choking me,In your high society, you cry all day.We’ve been so busy keeping up with the Jones,Four-car garage, and we’re still building on.Maybe it’s time we got back toThe basics of love.

Moman and Bobby Emmons.
My buddy Paulie often would quote from themovie Blues Brothers and say, “I like both kindsof music. Country and Western.” What do law-yers, judges, Reese’s Pieces, and the lilt of Irish laugh-ter all have in common? That’s right! They will allbe together March 16-18 at Bar Weekend inHershey, Pa. Rock on! Don’t change that dial!
